Q. I’d like to change ssh port from 22 to 2346. I changes the ssh port and reloaded OpenSSH but didn’t get through my firewall. I’m using APF firewall script under cPanel control panel? How do I open port 2346?

A. By default APF configured via /etc/apf/conf.apf file. All you have to do is login as the root and specify port number.

Open port 2346 using APF

Login as the root

Open config file /etc/apf/conf.apf# vi /etc/apf/conf.apf Find line that read as follows:IG_TCP_CPORTS Add port 2346 (keep all other ports):IG_TCP_CPORTS="2346,22,25,53,80,443,993,904,...." Close and save the file. Restart firewall:# /etc/init.d/apf restart
